sorry i havent been showing my face around here. iv become quite busy, what with my internship, moving into my boyfriends place and our new little kitties. i have to say im a bit of a hoarder and a clutter bug, and jeremy aint to great at keeping things clean either so this place has turned into a mess and has made me quite uninspired. however, today we got up early and cleaned our room (george (cat) peed on my clothes pile this morning.. so kinda forced us to) and now the room looks great, my mind feels less cluttered as well. so i just got off work, during my break i went to the liquor store near by and bought myself a big ol bottle of wine so i could come home, relax and get to work on a few things here. i have a few posts i need to write, and outfit here or there, few photo shoots with friends and things of the like. tonight i plan on listing some dresses in my shop which iv been meaning to do forever now. please do stop by and check them out in the next few days. i have a whole lot of inventory on sale, and please do not be afraid to ask for less on those items! wanna clear out my stuffed closet!!

oh hey! look its me! on the ny times 27 most stylish of day 7! how exciting!on the two days i attended shows, i had a lot of people taking street style shots of me, and a few even asked me real questions about what i do, and what im wearing ("i dont know.. its all thrifted" i said) so im excited to see an actual post somewhere about it. this was right before the phillip lim show when i was on the phone with my boyfriend hah. go here to check out the slideshow and see the rest.

i have had a long loving relationship with phillip lim ever since i interned at marie claire almost 2 years ago. getting to see and touch his beautiful things was so so amazing. we liked to try some things on sometimes, even though apparently we were not supposed to. heres an example of how professional we are...im in the pink coat which i think is celine if i remember correctly. but my friend there in that long hair coat, thats phillp alright!

iv gotten to go to his showroom before, didn't get to see him though. but there are beautiful big flowers painted along the white walls. it was a nice experience just going there. and the though of ever getting to go to one of his shows, well it just didnt seam in the cards for me. not where i currently am at least. but on wednesday when i get to priscillas office and looked at my stack of invites for that day, i could hardly believe my eyes!

so i was at jeremy scott at milk studios. show was supposed to go on at 1, didnt start until 1:30.. and i had to be at the armory at like east 66th and park by 2 for phillip lim!! i knew his show would be starting late as well, as they all do.. but i was gonna have to take two subways just to get up there and got knows how long that would talk. and I COULD NOT MISS PHILLIP LIM!! so once the show ended i bolted out of there and met two fashion reporters on the stairs down, also going to the armory. so we split a cab! my luck, it was a nice relaxing ride compared to the sweaty hot subway stations i had been in all day. we get there with time to spare, so i walk right in (literally..i was holding the white envelope in my hands, walked right past every body and asked someone "im standing room, where do i go?" and she pointed me. anyone could have walked in! i will have to try that another season when im not so lucky to have an invite!)so i get to my seat and guess whos not more than 30 feet away from me? alexa chung! i really wanted to go up to her and ask for a photo..but i was way to nervous. i really wish i had though because all i have to show you is the side of her head..

and now onto the show! i have a million photos, it was really beautiful, haunting music at times and i loved the colors, along with the little cloars and the shoes!

oh! and on the way out i saw hanneli!! oh god shes so beautiful, she was snapping shots of fashionables coming out of the show. so i got out the courage to ask her for a photo! she said she didbt really have time, that she was working..but i just got a quick one and thats all i really wanted.

okay now, back to the fashion week coverage! still on my second (and last) day at fashion week, i headed over to milk studios once more to catch the jeremy scott show. i wasent really sure what to expect, as the invitation resembled a punk band's show flyer. complete with "all ages" scribbled across the corner. once again this show drew in a good crowd, lots of fashionable people. and that same short haired blonde i saw at the RAD show. she really is everywhere! cory kennedy was there as well, she looked a lot..bigger? in real life. i guess im just so used to seeing her in photos on my computer screen.it was a very fun show. the ramones played through most of it, all really vintage inspired cuts. most looks were tight fitting dresses or underthings, of plastic bags! i loved the hair in the pin curls and the bright lipstick. they all looked so damn hot!

oh and guess who showed up? kanye west! oh man it caused a FRENZY! this is a pretty small place and to see kanye, like 2o feet away from me in a bright pink suit surrounded by flashing cameras!....well.. i just dont really care that much. people were fall over themselves to get a photo of him, especially when he sat down next to kelly osborne. her and i went to like all the same shows. this was as much attention as i liked to spend on it, from my seat, i give you kanye and kelly, checkin out the runway!

today the loved one reached their goal and then some of $4500 to start up the first delivery of their lingerie line! i am too excited, but im sure over at the house of hannah and landon there is much celebrating being done!congrats to hannah and her parter elvia lahman, i think i speak for most when i say i just cannot wait to see the outcome of this, and all the big bright and beautiful things it will bring along to you both!

even though these lovely ladies have already reached their limit, i do believe donations can still be given, and im sure the extra bucks wont go to waste in helping this starting line along even more. so stop by their kickstarter to give some more love and get more than just undies in return!

just marked down most of the inventory at golden fur vintage. nearly everything is under $20, with most being $15 or less! trying to clear out the summer inventory so i can fill the shop with lovely dresses, coats and sweaters for fall! please stop by the store and check it out. oh, and dont be afraid to haggle! thats one of the great things about etsy, the bartering! id like to see everything get a new home so if its a bit out of your price range, id like to help you out!

oh! and one more thing, i would really like to donate a quarter of the money made from this summer sale to help out hannah and the loved one's kickstarter project. so lets help this little lady get her line off the ground. and please stop by and check it out. if everyone who visits the site donates only a dollar, this thing will be happening! dont be embarrassed to donate too little, every little things helps, and is greatly appreciated!
